Opsview 6.8.x End of Support

With the release of Opsview 6.11.0 on February 2025, versions 6.8.x have reached their End of Support (EOS) status, according to our Support policy. This means that versions 6.8.x will no longer receive code fixes or security updates.

The documentation for version 6.8.9 and earlier versions will remain accessible for the time being, but it will no longer be updated or receive backports. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.

Runtime - Performance Metrics

This section is for searching for live objects being monitored by Opsview. This is in the Runtime database, hence the URL path is /rest/runtime/{objecttype}.

URL: /rest/runtime/performancemetric.

Requires authentication - requires VIEWALL or VIEWSOME permission.

Access Control Copied

VIEWALL allows all performance data to be returned. VIEWSOME allows performance data to be returned for objects where permission has been granted for the service based on the access object selection.

Requesting Performance Metrics Copied

Performance metrics consist of a name of the format:

    {hostname}::{servicename}::{metricname}

For example, a fully qualified metric name is opsview::Opsview NDO::ndo_file_backlog.

Parameters:

Response:

Note

This will only return items that have performance data. If you want to search for all hosts, use /rest/runtime/host.
